PSAs that may or may not be amazing enough to warrant their own thread

Managed to get a Camelbak and DHB base layer for £26, keep thinking I’ve done my last order and before I know it I’ve placed another £20+ order. Ive already ordered some tools and bits and bobs last week and a 105 cassette earlier this week!

That new programme is amazing, be interesting to see what’s left when the stock levels have refreshed tomorrow. I’m waiting for the DHB Aeron shorts and merino wool leg and arm warmers for the road bike to drop a bit further and then I think I’m done.

MTBroutes you are awesome!

I finally caved and ordered the Lifeline truing stand that I’d been watching for ages. With a question mark over it taking a 148mm hub I figured to get it while there’s still a slight chance of it being returnable.

I wouldn’t be too confident in returning anything now, given the closing date for bids is tomorrow. I assume that may be why all those wheels disappeared. I imagine bidders will want a decision quickly to avoid any more good stock disappearing.

Im glad I got me emailing confirming parcel out with Evri today .

right so is the consensus its a dumb idea to buy a dropper post or 2 now?  I’m dithering because I really shouldn’t be spending on bike stuff as there are more important things the money should be spent on…

Silly me ordered two sizes of endura shorts as unsure of fit.  Anybody want some cheap XL shorts?

I have;

Endura Humvee II 3/4 length (dark camo type ones which come with clickfast liner)

and

Endura Singletrack Lite in Black

Anybody want both?  Just PM me if you do.  Happy to do both for £40 inc. postage.

Cheers.

they might have some kind of stock reservation on there? there’s no way 122 sold in one go.

I would guess the big drop in stock on thos items will be because of this

Hard to know given they’ve got plenty left in stock, but I’m happy with the £36ea I paid for 150mm droppers. Yeah they might drop in price even more but they might also go out of stock…

Despite my last purchase a few weeks ago, I’ve just spent £40 on nick nacks for maintenance and also a pair of the nukeproof knee pads as my TLD are starting to come apart.

PayPal, so should be safe.

Just got – much to my surprise – despatch note for an order I made on 8th March, which had the extra10 code on after it expired. They’re now advertising the extra10
Code again, maybe that’s how theyve finally managed to complete my order.

Waiting for that bearing press to drop to £30ish as that’s really only how much it’s worth.

I already have a nice press from BearingProTools but I’m after the drifts in that kit.

@mtbroutes is there any way to work your magic on CRC? There are definitely items on CRC that aren’t lsted on Wiggle

eg. Brand-X trekking bars.

In theory yes, similar feed. Got to get the dinner on though just now 🙂

Don’t worry about it, I took a look at the page source and found the stock level myself.

For anyone interested just open the page source and do a CTRL-F for quantity, the line will look something like this:

{“inStock”:true,”isStockLevelLow”:false,”quantity”:30}

So there are 30 sets of the trekking bars left.

It’s clunky but handy if you find something on CRC that’s missing from the Wiggle stock check, not as cool as MTBroutes effort though!

£15 clunker bars with a cross bar…

{“inStock”:true,”isStockLevelLow”:false,”quantity”:30}

So there are 30 sets of the trekking bars left.

I think this more likely is the code that displays the low stock warning if the stock is under 30 not that there is 30 bars left. Could be wrong.

I tried it out on something and sure enough that’s how many it let me put in my basket so it should work.

Both sites have a max of 30 items allowed in basket now. Previous version of sites didnt, so you could keep upping the qty until you saw what their actual stock was

Ok that really really really was my last CRC order!*

I had a few bits that I had been keeping an eye on in the hope of one last reduction (all had big quantities in stock, thank MtbRoutes, so was in no rush) but if they are now looking at securing a job lot buyer I wanted to get in before the weekend as I am nervous that they may not be here much longer now. I even used the savings the 10extra code gave me to cover the cost of next day delivery as I don’t fancy having an order sitting as pending for a few days at this stage.

*ok there is a saddle I am considering if it goes to a stupid price, so might be one last hurrah yet.

Those Doyenne wheels have returned.   9 sets, apparently.

Wonder if they want to give the impression that they have a limited quantity,  so that people will jump on them as it might appear to be their last chance to buy them?

While I’m very sad to see Wiggle and CRC go, I am quite looking forward to the term ‘chiggle’ disappearing forever

I think this more likely is the code that displays the low stock warning if the stock is under 30 not that there is 30 bars left. Could be wrong.

Nah there are products with 2 or 3 in that response and you can only add 2 or 3 to basket. It’s how the site works.

I suspect they’re just finding that a box of “wheels” is not wheels so knocked the whole lot out of stock until they recounted them

Is everyone picking up a (practically) free CRC branded water bottle on the way out? They’ll be a priceless collector’s item one day, a Mint Sauce keyring for the 2030s.

https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/chain-reaction-cycles-water-bottle

Both 700ml and 700ml sizes available.

As requested I’ve added CRC stock too: https://www.mtbroutes.com/crc/in-stock.php

Im glad I got me emailing confirming parcel out with Evri today

Good luck with that. Mine for delivery 2nd of March has stalled. Claire at evri is frustrated at its lack of progress.

Thx @MtbRoutes just saw some of the Primavera rim brake wheels back in stock, so ordering for the third time, cause others keep getting cancelled. Ordered next day delivery as I can’t imagine they will be trading for much longer given the stock levels.

I have 2 orders processing since Tuesday. Will see if they actually go through, but am half expecting not to get them

Got my order from about 1.5 weeks ago yesterday.

Took more than a week for the dispatch notice. I’m expecting a similar timeframe on my final order.

Both flavours of Nukeproof Horizon Carbon cage are £4.49 (you have to add it to your basket and then the discount code to get the price)

https://www.wiggle.com/p/nukeproof-horizon-carbon-sideload-bottle-cage

I’m trying not to get sucked into the tat, there are a couple of things that sensible head says to wait on.

I ordered wheels last night at 7pm, and they have just been delivered by Parcelforce…

Honestly, bar the pricing I wouldn’t know any difference. The service has still been amazing.

170mm Dropper for £40

https://www.wiggle.com/p/brand-x-ascend-xl-internal-dropper-seatpost

A pump with change from a quid

Big chain whip (I’ve got one, it’s good)

https://www.wiggle.com/p/lifeline-pro-track-chain-whip

Hoping my order does go through. Still processing from Sunday. Stuff I need, and nothing I don’t. Two 10 speed chains – one is to go straight away on the CX bike, then a Spare UN300 BB, that’s for the commuter, although the current UN300 seems to be lasting longer than the previous UN54/55’s I’ve had before (on this bike).

Service is good. I had an order go missing at the Evri depot. Used the chat facility on Monday to try and chase it up. They said they will check.  Email today saying it’s being refunded. Really needed the parts but I can’t fault the service from the whole team in really difficult circumstances.
